WASHINGTON, Feb 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama will deliver a statement at 12:15 p.m. ET (1715 GMT) on Friday about women's preventive health services and religious groups, the White House said.
Obama is expected to announce a plan to better accommodate religious groups on its rule for health insurance coverage of contraceptives, which has prompted an election-year backlash from Catholic Church leaders. (Reporting By Caren Bohan and Laura MacInnis; Editing by Vicki Allen)
